Biography

When Felix first arrived at the Brooklyn House, he was the youngest child there, at age nine. Sadie notes that he loves penguins and had transported a winter wonderland including penguins into the Brooklyn House fireplace. When she tells her dream to the rest of the initiates, Felix asks if they were all going to die when the others were afraid to ask. He also tries to start singing "Happy Birthday" when Sadie mentions it's her birthday, but no one joins in.

In the lesson, Magic Problem-Solving 101, taught by Carter, Felix uses a basketball to make a shabti lose its balance and shatter into pieces. He is very curious and questions Walt after the older magician accidentally disintegrates the shabti. When the three headed snake attacks Carter and his other trainees, Felix takes off his left shoe and throws it at one of the heads.

In the The Battle of Brooklyn House, he summons a squad of penguins, which are quite effective as the magicians who were sent to Antarctica seemed to be terrified of them.

Felix had summoned several penguins while raiding the gift shop with his fellow trainees as Carter and Sadie were outside. These penguins, when discovered, were wearing King Tut masks. He fended off evil spirits in the brief battle against Apophis with a powerful aura. However near the end of the battle it started to fail. After the failed attempt at Texas, the next morning he carved mini penguins shabti out of his mashed potatoes and brought them to life.

In the final battle, Felix encases his enemies in snowmen with an army of penguins that pecked at enemy magicians and stole their wands.At the end of the book, he says that he was meant to follow the path of the ice god, much to Carter's confusion, as Egypt is a desert, and there would be no ice. Carter asked if there is a god of ice and Felix replied enthusiastically that he had no idea.

Personality

Felix has an innocent, somewhat playful personality, and is viewed as a little brother by most of the Brooklyn House. He is also known to be talented at playing basketball. He prefers to use things like shoes, penguins, and basketballs as weapons, rather than magic. He likes to use magic for practical jokes and summoning magical penguins, but not really for combat.
